Some we'll want, others we won't...but do what's important: vote.
Now less than a week away, the General Election we’ve all been waiting for is nearly upon us.
Candidates can’t wait for the day to pass. Many of us are eagerly awaiting the day as well…looking forward to the next day when life can return to some semblance of normal.
The signs will disappear, the increasingly negative campaigning on the television will cease and we’ll likely have to deal with a mixed bag of winners – some we want, others we won’t.
But before we get to enjoy that – we need to live through that day. November 4.
We can’t blindly go into the voting booth and believe all that we hear. Between daily chores, our jobs, our children and everything else we have going on – we all need to make time to find some reliable sources and research the candidates.
In the scheme of things, it is important for us all to realize we can’t believe everything bad we hear about the candidates and we can’t believe all the good either. The best we can really do is to research them all as much as we can and make sure we’re aware of the bias that exists within everyone sharing information about the candidates. We’ve all heard a lot of ridiculous things…things that can’t possibly be true and probably aren’t.
The really important thing is that if you can vote, if you’re registered…vote. You can vote this week if it is more convenient for you or, if you prefer, you can be a part of voting on what is likely to be a historic day for voter turnout nationally. We are entrusted with a very important duty in voting to pick our future leaders. There is a lot riding on our decisions nationally, statewide and right here at home in Whitley County. Mark it on your calendar and let nothing stand between you and the voting booth on November 4.
